* Location: Basement. Enter the Star Door and jump into the portal.
* Description: Water level with Bowser's sub, a bunch of sharks, and a whirlpool.


Dire, Dire Docks is the ninth stage in Super Mario 64. 30 stars are required to access it. It is found in the room with the Bowser in the Lava Sea stage, but the portal is blocking the Bowser stage. This area is known as Dire, Dire Docks. After you clear the first level of it, the portal will move to the back of the room. After completing Bowser in the Fire Sea, Bowser's Sub will disappear, moving poles will appear in the framework of the docks, and the gate blocking the passageway to the pond outside Princess Peach's Castle will open. In Super Mario 64 DS, there are Bill Blasters in the dock area, which will also disappear.

There are four chests at the base of the whirlpool. Open them in this order: (1) near the clamshell, (2) near the tunnel, (3) near the seaweed on the ocean floor, (4) next to the whirlpool.

{{sidebar|width=250px|title=Super Mario 64 DS|contents=This was made much easier in the Nintendo DS version, as there is a platform for the poles that pass over coins 6 and 7, and you only need to use one pole to get to the blue coin block. Also, it can be cheated by simply playing as Mario and using the Flower Power to float up to the top.}}
'''Note''': You have to defeat Bowser in the Fire Sea (30 stars and one from Dire, Dire Docks) for the poles to appear.

Get all 8 red coins. They are all in the second cavern. You have to hit the same switch as star 1, but climb the other steps.
Get all 8 red coins. They are all in the second cavern. You have to hit the same switch as star 1, but climb the other steps. Then jump between poles for the eight red coins.
#The first coin is right in front of you on the same platform as you're currently on.
#The next three coins are all to the left of you. Wait until the pole comes over to you, then grab onto it and slide up and down it as necessary to grab the three coins. Keep holding on so you can get back.
#Once you're on the first platform, grab onto the other pole. Hold onto it until you get to the platform where the star will appear, at which point let go and grab onto the next pole in the same direction. This is where it gets difficult, as you have to jump off your pole and land on the other one right next to it when it stops. If you fall, climb back up to where you were and try again.
#Keep holding onto that pole into the fifth red coin.
#Now you have to jump onto another pole, except this time both the poles are moving, making it even more difficult. The sixth and seventh red coins are in the way.
#Head back to the platform where the star will appear, but instead of continuing back to where you started, grab onto the other pole off to the side, and keep jumping poles until you get to a platform with a blue coin block. Once there, grab onto the other pole and ride it over to the final red coin.
 
Backtrack, and there's the star.

{{sidebar|width=250px|title=Super Mario 64 DS|contents=You will need to be Wario in order to get this star.  Destroy the black bricks to find a star switch.  Since it is impossible to swim to the other side in time, hit the yellow block to find a Koopa shell.  It reappears, so don't worry if you fail.  Make sure, however, that you eliminate the water striders to make this easier.}}
In the first cavern, there is a Manta Ray swimming around. There are rings coming out behind it. Swim through five consecutive rings to get the star. It will appear just above the whirlpool. Go from above, and be careful.

This was moved to Star 7 in Super Mario 64 DS.

==Star 5: Koopa Surfin' Switch Star (Nintendo DS)==
As Wario, swim over to one of the sandy areas in the first cavern. You will find three Black Bricks and a yellow ! Block. Punch the brick in the middle, and hit the ! Block containing a Koopa Shell. Now step on the Star Switch, and get on the Koopa Shell. You don't have much time to get to the Star, so move quickly.

Go to the second cavern to where the green cap is. Get both the green and blue caps and go down through the underwater cage where the star is. You can also get the star by just getting the blue cap and swimming down to the cage.

==Star 7: The Manta Ray's Reward (DS version)==
From where you start, swim down and you will see a manta ray.  Its tail makes circles.  Swim through 5 consecutive rings to make the star appear.  The rings seem to provide air, so don't panic.

{{sidebar|width=250px|title=Super Mario 64 DS|contents=The first line of coins has been replaced by additional coins on the bottom of The Bay.
{{sidebar|width=250px|title=Super Mario 64 DS|contents=If you are still needing coins, get the Wario cap and break the black bricks.}}
 
You have to search very carefully for the coins. There are no coins from enemies. There are only 106 coins in this level, so search carefully! It is very difficult to find them.
If you are still needing coins, get the Wario cap and break the black bricks.}}
This is one of the harder coin missions in the game, with just 106 coins.
#As soon as you enter, swim around the top sides of The Bay, until you find a line of five yellow coins.
#Swim down to the bottom, where there are three coins near each other.
#There are two vertical columns of five yellow coins near the whirlpool.
#Near and in the tunnel, there are three rings of yellow coins, for 24 coins in total.
#Swim through the tunnel, down to the bottom, and past the 3 clams. There are eight coins in a ring there.
#Near the black tunnel, there is a column of five coins. It can be very difficult to get them, as the current is very strong. Swim to the top and use a metal cap if you have trouble.
#Swim up to the top and get onto the dock. There are five coins in a line.
#Hit the ! Switch and head up to the platforms with the poles. You only need to get five of the red coins, so you can ignore coins five, six, and seven.
#Get onto the platform with the blue coin switch, hit it, and grab the six blue coins. You should have 100 coins.


==1-Up Locations==
Make sure you collect all 42 coins in the area where you start which includes the start of the tunnel. Then, collect all eight red coins.  There is a blue coin switch where you pole-vault, so hit it for six blue coins to appear. (You will use the poles to reach the blue box)
There is only one 1-Up in this level. When you start, swim down to the bottom and open up the clam. Swim through the clam's mouth, and a 1-Up appears.
